About Me

Kristen made this for my birthday and it's my new favorite thing. I suggest turning off my profile music before viewing however.

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com
About me... hm...
Well let's see, I suppose we should start with the emo crap. I'm quite neurotic, a total worrywort, and a huge crybaby, but if you can get past that, you've got someone who will love you forever. Some people see me as naive, but I just consider myself an optimist. My forgiving behavior has often caused me heartache and headaches, but I still find the payoff more than worth it. I've learned to not be sorry for my choices anymore or feel guilty about the person I am. It's fantastic:)
I love to eat:) My favorite food of all time is Ginza's hibachi shrimp, teriyaki chicken, and white rice in Lachoy brand soy sauce (NOT kikoman - there's a difference, trust me). And shrimp tempura rolls. MAN I'm hungry now...
I firmly believe everyone should have a pet. I have WAY too many pets right now. We have four cats, two dogs, and one of our dogs just had puppies. I also have another adorable kitty who lives with one of my very good friends. If you let me, I'll go on about my pets for HOURS. I don't suggest this.
I am a total sucker for all those VH1 Celeb-Reality Shows.
I LOVE to sing. Acting too. Acting is fantastic, but singing is something that really makes me happy and makes me feel special. I just wish I could write music. I haven't performed in FOREVER.
I also love to draw, but I often get frustrated because I'm SUCH a perfectionist and it takes me FOREVER. Hands suck. I'm great at faces though. I wish I could draw anime but it never looks right when I try. I like to think my style is a bit more art nouveau. My best work are facial drawings I did from life. Maybe I'll post them some day.
I recently decided to change my major to Theatre Education. The prospect of becoming a teacher has filled a void and is truly exciting to me. Acting is great, but I really only need to be famous with the people I know. Besides, being a teacher gives me the opportunity to perform everyday:) Not to mention the fact that I enjoy the sound of my own voice XD
Everything I know about the American court system, I learned from Law and Order.
I am a video game junkie. Despite my wide range of systems, however, I'm very picky with the games I choose as my obsession for the next month or so. I like RPGs. Sidequests are a must. Interaction with other characters is a must. Not just fighting. I also must have the guide. Scoff if you must you "true" gamers. I play to enjoy myself.
My favorites of ALL time:
    Mario Party - Every single one of them!!! Star Fox 64 Banjo Kazooie Pokemon - Screw you all!!! Crystal's my favorite!!! Legend of Heroes Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 Zelda - All of them:) Jade Empire Fable Harvest Moon: Magical Melodies - Again, screw you all.

I LOVE neopets. It's a webpage with chats, games, guilds, plots, and fake currency. It's the greatest time waster on the planet. Click the banner below, join it, chat with me, and I'll love you forever. Promise! My username is starryeyedq. Look me up;)
In case you haven't noticed, I'm a HUGE nerd. I love all things fantasy, cartoons, Stephen King, and am cultivating a growing fascination with manga and comic books. Especially Berserk and the Sand Man I'm proud of my dorky interests. I'm not opposed to maturing, but I'm in no hurry to grow up. I plan on clinging to innocent and simple joys as long as I can. Hopefully as long as I can will be my entire life.
I really enjoy painting my fingernails fun colors, sometimes patterns.
I use parentheses a LOT. Same with chat smilies and "lol". I also have a tendency to ramble. A LOT. In speaking and writing. I'm okay with that tho^_^
Laughing is the greatest thing a person can do. I have great friends who crack me up and I wouldn't trade that for anything. All we need is an Arnold or Mel Gibson movie, a comfortable couch, and a sizable TV. The rest just falls into place.
I'm a guy's girl that enjoys wearing skirts and heels - A DANGEROUS combination.
My family is hilarious. They frustrate me sometimes but I wouldn't trade them for anything. My parents can really piss me off sometimes, but when it comes right down to it, they are incredibly supportive of everything I do and do their absolute best to understand me. My sister and I are complete opposites and our arguments can get viscious (as all sibling arguments can), but I consider her one of my best friends. She knows she can come to me about anything and when we get together, we laugh so hard we cry.
I trip when I'm sober. Seriously. I don't need any more help in that department.
In order for me to really enjoy a movie, it has to have some kind of happy ending and all animals have to survive.
I want to learn to dance. REALLY dance.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic...
Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be...
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Laa, da daa dee da daa daa,
La laa la la laa dee daa doo...
I'm going to get kinda lame for a second (deal with it): I wouldn't trade my life for anything in the world. I'm so lucky. When I think too long about the fact that I'm even alive and exist, I ache with happiness and wonder. Life is so fucking beautiful.

My Interests

Acting, drawing, singing, I listen to the Bob and Tom show every morning, and NEOPETS. Belittle me for it! Try! I dare you!

Christopher Walken, Neil Gaimen, Bruce Willis, Stephen King, the writers of Lost (I'd like to have a word with them), and the creator of Berserk. I hear he's crazy...

What type of beauty do you possess? (20 questions + 7 results + pretty pics)
DEMURE BEAUTY - You are modest, innocent, and a bit naive. You are naturally optimistic and always look on the bright side in whatever you do. People are naturally drawn to you and you probably have a lot of friends. If you're sad, which is rare, you bounce back quickly. Your innocence makes you see the good in all things. You believe in second chances and are a true idealist.

Music:

Anything I can sing and/or dance to. Otherwise it's just all a matter of what speaks to me:)

Movies:

Little Miss Sunshine, The Departed, Happy Feet, Pulp Fiction, Fifth Element, Boondock Saints, and Quills (SO fucked up but somehow extremely hot).

Television:

LOST!!! I love my Lost parties with Bobby and his sisters:) TiVo is essential to our experience since we talk so much. Boston Legal is also a must see (William Shatner is my hero). I'm also a fan of the various VH1 Celeb-Reality shows, the Fairly Odd Parents, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, South Park, and Berserk.

Books:

Books on tape rock. Not because I'm lazy, but because I've always had the urge to read while driving and now I can! LOVE Stephen King, Harry Potter, and the occasional Michael Crighton, but my FAVORITE book is Twice Upon a Time. Short stories (especially fantasy) are somehow just easier for me to read over and over. Neil Gaimen's The Sandman also rocks my world.

Heroes:

I'm hoping to become my own someday.

Things that make me happy

I like thinking about things that make me happy.  Who knows?  Maybe one of these could make you happy too.  Some of these things are pretty obscure tho...   June 12th, 2006: &nbs...
